Currently, it is unknown whether these two components of a global mindset (sensitivity to corporate social performance (ESCSP) and crosscultural sensitivity (CCS) are convergent or divergent, or whether there is any association at all between them. This study was designed to fill a gap in the literature with the development of instruments used to measure the relationship between these two components. Factor analysis was used to generate valid and reliable scales based on a sample of 439 business students from two large public universities in the Southeastern United States. A positive relationship was found between ESCSP and CCS. This suggests that companies can find international managers who are sensitive to both corporate social performance standards and cultural values and norms. Furthermore, a number of significant demographic differences were found.engWith permission of the license/copyright holdermultinational corporationsintercultural valuesresponsibility ethicsmanagementCultural ethicsCultural/intercultural ethicsComponents of a global mindsetArticle
